Abstract
This paper is a research on the causes of the mortality in England and Wales during the second
half of nineteenth century, their évolution and the very large difference between the cities and the
country, what is the urban penalty. The difficulty is the measure of the causes of mortality ; we
must achieve a most indepth research on the influence of each disease and on the definition of the
administrative districts. Therefore, this paper is caracterized by a great methodological effort. To
make the research, it was necessary to construct an urban sample -and it is a particularly difficult
work, as it is showed in the appendix-, and a rural sample. The research must be continued, but
to-day it is clear that the great difference for the adults between cities and countries must be
explained by respiratory tuberculosis. As for the gap in the life expectancy, it is always large,
because the country has known also an improvement of his mortality.
